It is a rare day that does not appear on a news report any vulnerability in Android. In recent months we have told some applications outside of Google Play, you can make changes at the system level but the vulnerability that is relatively easy to explore not least because you do not need any third-party application.
See what the steps that have been discovered to be able to bypass lock screen.
The vulnerability now discovery only works on some versions of the Android operating system. This system security flaw that was discovered by researchers at the University of Texas, allows any attacker can do bypass the lock screen and thus have full access to the device. To point out however that in order for everything to work the equipment must have set a password and not a pattern / pin.
According to the researchers, this can be exploited in Android 5.0 to Android 5.1.1 to “LMY48M.”
